10 per cent off on our entire
line of
Men and Boy's Suits

We have
correct styles in all sizes from
$12.50 to $25.00 regular in
Men’s Suits and from $2.00 to $8.00 in Boy’s Suits.
The purpose of this reduction is not to sell a lot
of out-of-date stock, for our suits are new and up-to-
date, but to mare thoroughly establish the already
known fact that our clothing line is unquestioned in
quality, tailoring and price.
Our methods of conducting business is not along
lines of “ flashy sales ” or advertising to sell below
cost. W e will truthfully represent our goods both in
the store and in our advertising, doing unto others as
we would be done by.

Editor Moorehead of the Ju n e
lion City Times, m akes the follow­
ing frauk statem ent concerning the
creation of N esm ith county by
popular vote in 1910:
“ A good deal of surprise was
expressed when the Tim es stated
th at the creation of the county of
N esm ith would be ratified by the
lieople under the referendum law.
Now comes the O regonian and
says it will support the m easure.
We learn by inquiry th at a good
m any in this part of the county
will favor the m easure, while
others are indifferent as to the out
come. ■ We would regret to see the
county divided an d we would also
regret to lose Cottage G rove aud
her good people, but at the same
lime, they can present an argu
ment th at will be pretty hard to
overcome and argum ents th a t will
appeal to the voters at la rg e .”
